Climate change happens to be a worrying concern for many Hollywood celebs: Leonardo Dicaprio recently completed his film Before the Floods and released it right before the elections, hoping it would have some impact on people (Donald Trump has infamously denied climate change whereas Hillary Clinton acknowledges it). Unfortunately, Trump has become president, which means Hollywood needs to work even harder to make people notice the effects of climate change.

In This Climate is another addition to the list of celebrity-endorsed climate change documentaries, this time featuring a long list of famous names, such as Cher, Mark Ruffalo and Vivienne Westwood. “Where’s your brain?” Cher asks in the trailer. “How can our brains be so different? How can you not notice all the things that are changing?”
What was originally supposed to be a short 6-minute-long clip ended up becoming a long film because researchers Pablo Ganguli and Tomas Auksas found a lot of data when they began their investigation. “It’s really the biggest crisis of our time,” Ganguli told Vanity Fair in an interview.
Ganguli further added, “Most people, like it or not, do care about these issues . . . then you have someone like Trump who comes in and de-values the intelligence of the ordinary man on the street. I would hope that the people who advise him once he goes to White House, the people who are going to be working closely with him, will inject some basic intelligence into his mind as far as the environment is concerned.”
The film will be screened in film festivals and other events in 2017.
